I have just bought a Sony Vaio TZ series and I am considering removing
the pre-installed Vista and other huge slowing progs such as Office
2007 Norton Security Suite etc.
The machine seems a bit slow.
I would install WinXP and lighter version of office/ AVG antivirus
etc
If I do that then of course I will lose some of the Sony applications
such as the power management software which does seem to do the job.
Is this to be recommended ? Will I Lose some good software which I
may regret ?
Seems to me that Sony install loads of bloatware stuff which I really
don't want.
Check the Sony site to see if they have XP drivers. I know they do for my SZ4-XWN/C. They inititally said they would not supply XP drivers, but I guess Vista has been such a disaster that too many people asked for XP drivers for Sony to avoid their requests.
I've wiped Vista and used Solaris, and lack drivers for the fingerprint reader and camera, (power management is fine) but I believe if I used XP, I could get all drivers from Sony.
